I really love Supraland, but it’s hard to convince people to try it for some reason.

Minimetro and Cultist Simulator are my go to "comfy" games, but cultist simulator really does get you feeling like you're chasing a mad eldritch horror when playing at times. It's deliberately obtuse and odd, and then a revelation of the truth takes you over and you push on beyond your wildest expectations.
Slay the Spire and Hollowknight have both been mentioned enough in other posts in case anyone reading this is somehow unaware of either of them.
Faster than Light and Into the Breach are both excellent games. FtL is rng mitigation and crisis control par excellence. ItB is basically chess, and you play out the turns as best you can. It's rewarding, but once you get good you need to ramp up the difficulty somewhat to keep it fun.

I have a personal soft spot for Doki Doki Literature Club because it got me into programming when i was young, but that's far more sentimental and to be honest i wouldn't play it again as an adult really. If i had to pick something functionally though I'd say Project Zomboid. there's a fuck ton of fun to be made in that, especially with Multiplayer. Even in singleplayer i like to turn on a NPC mod and assemble my own makeshift Walking Dead cast
I haven’t seen it mentioned and feel like it should count, since it really just had a solo programmer working with a graphic designer and musician, but RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 took a big chunk of my gaming time.
The Cat Lady and the other games from Harvester Games 👀
I remember playing an RPG back in the day called “Dink Smallwood” on my old Macintosh laptop, it was one of the few games that were Mac compatible. Really funny and self aware dialogue, pretty great! I found out there’s an app version of it for mobile
Can't believe none of these haven't been mentioned yet: Starsector Kenshi Graveyard keeper Battle brothers Ghost of a tale
Currently it’s Bellwright, among many other titles. what particularly tickles me about it is the shitty ai voices they used for the npcs. I am not pro ai by any means, but nothing makes me happier than hearing “all in a good days of work.” delivered constantly, in the most off-kilter reading imaginable.
Sticking only to ones I haven't seen mentioned:
- Tandis : geometry puzzler
- Gateways : a 2d portal-style puzzler
- Elliot Quest : pixel adventure
- Phoenotopia Awakening : also a pixel adventure, had trouble with the final boss but the rest is great
- Wuppo : flash-animation-style comedy adventure
- Alba : sweet game about a girl who loves wildlife
- Salt and Sanctuary : 2d soulslike
- Legend of Grimrock : tile-based first person dungeon crawler ("dungeon master" spiritual successor)
- A Short Hike (really short but amazing exploration game)
Ones I have seen mentioned but can't bear not to mention:
- TIS-100 : the finest of the Zachlikes; a programming puzzle game
- Crosscode : 2d adventure with incredibly fine-tuned combat and puzzles
- Outer Wilds : fantastic time-loop puzzle
- FTL : space adventure "one more run!" game
- Slay the Spire : deck-drafting "one more run!" game
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If that doesn't count. Will....HoloCure or Noita or Parking Garage Rally Circuit.
Holocure is amazing! I don't even watch Vtubers I just looked at the highest rated games on steam and found it. Within the first 3 weeks I put in 100 hours

Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it's so old it should run on any potato.
edit: real answer is Slay The Spire
edit2: ah shit now all of a sudden all the good indie games I played pop up in my head. Project Kat I enjoyed. Synthetik was awesome. Caves of Qud hasn't been mentioned yet (didn't play it much though).
Super Daryl Deluxe
That game has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game.
hypnospace outlaw
Undertale
Magicraft.
Can't really add much to all of the great games already mentioned. But I'll add one, because it was one of the best games I played in recent memory. Chants of Sennaar. Where to even start? Point-and-click adventure/puzzle game that is all about language puzzles. With great visuals and music. Really dig the eurocomics inspired style. I don't know why, but this game really touched me - maybe it's because the game is about uniting people in an age of discord.
